Hot on the heels of the new Civic and [HR-V](), Honda revealed the next-gen 2023 CR-V. With a hybrid version and lots of tech, there are some interesting things going on with this compact SUV. Here are the six things you need to know. ### **Rugged new design** The design of the 2023 Honda CR-V takes some cues from the rugged TrailSport versions of the Passport and Ridgeline. It has some stronger horizontal lines along the side, and the taillights have a Volvo-esque look to them. The new CR-V is 2.7 inches longer, which adds more interior volume for cargo and passengers. ### **Hybrid is the top powertrain** The base powertrain will be an updated 190-horsepower, 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. The up-level powertrain is the hybrid, and the intention is to give a sportier driving dynamic. Thus it will be standard on the top two trims. The hybrid system will consist of a two-motor hybrid electric system and a 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder engine. Combined power output is 204 horsepower. Honda expects total sales of the hybrid to account for 50% of annual sales. The gas-only versions of the 2023 CR-V will the streets this summer, with the hybrid versions showing up later in 2022. ### **There are only 4 trims** For the 2023 Honda CR-V, the lineup gets simplified. Currently there are five gasoline trims and three hybrid trims. For this next-gen model, there are only four trims total and the bottom two trims are the gasoline model while the top two trims are hybrid-only. So, you have the EX and EX-L as the base gas-only trims; the Sport and Sport Touring are the hybrid-only trims. ### **Lots of device charging options** Thankfully, Honda realizes its 2022, and the new CR-V will have a multitude of device charging locations and options. The front passengers will have both 2.5A USB-A and 3.0A USB-C chargers with, get this, a cubby area that will fit two smartphones side by side. The EX-L and Sport Touring trims will get standard wireless charging, and Sport and Sport Touring models will have standard USB-C charge ports in the rear. ### **Available wireless Carplay/Auto** The 2023 Honda CR-V will have two available infotainment screen sizes – the 7-inch screen will be standard on EX and Sport models, while the EX-L and Sport Touring will get the up-level 9-inch screen. The larger screen also gets wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto – along with that wireless charging. ### **Safety is standard** Honda always places a huge emphasis on safety in its vehicles, so it makes sense that the Honda Sensing safety suite is standard on all models. New for 2023, the CR-V gets improved side-impact protection, new front airbags, standard front knee airbags, improved collision prevention and standard blind-spot monitoring. New available features include traffic jam assist, low-speed braking control and traffic sign recognition. Adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist have also been improved for a more natural response feel. ### **The bottom line on the 2023 Honda CR-V** While there hasn’t been any word on pricing just yet, we expect it to come soon with the arrival of these vehicles being imminent – I mean it’s summer *right now*. For comparison’s sake, the current CR-V has a base price of $28,045 with the hybrid starting at $33,255. We don’t envision a huge price hike here, so expect the 2023 Honda CR-V to start under $30k. Because the 2023 Honda CR-V has just been revealed, a lot of the fine details are scarce. But for every drop of information available, you can go [directly to the press release]() for preliminary specs. We’ll share more info as we get it.
